Here's What To Know About "Venom" & "A Star Is Born"

Investigative journalist Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) attempts a comeback following a scandal, but accidentally becomes the host of an alien symbiote that gives him a violent super alter-ego: Venom. Soon, he must rely on his newfound powers to protect the world from a shadowy organisation looking for a symbiote of their own.

Critics: according to Rottentomatoes.com, "Venom's first standalone movie turns out to be like the comics character in all the wrong ways - chaotic, noisy, and in desperate need of a stronger attachment to Spider-Man. 31% Like"

Blake: my trusted sources assure me, the best elements of the movie Venom are Tom Hardy and Michelle Williams. The movie itself? A Marvel of a mess! Venom can't decide what kind of movie it actually is, and what it is... is probably the worst of the Marvel origins movies. Tom Hardy will easily be able to look back on this with headshakes for the rest of his life. Venom has no box-office bite. 1 of 5 stars!
